I have been awarded an eight week fellowship to travel to Canada in order to pursue wilderness canoeing. It is my intention to spend approximately half of this time volunteering at centres with groups of young people on canoe expeditions. The centres I am in contact with are about 3 hours north of Toronto near to the Algonquin National Park area. The remaining time will be spent on a river trip in the remote north of the country.
After the initial shock of finding out that I had been successful, next came the incredible excitement and then finally the overwhelming realisation that I actually had to start organising to do all the things I had planned to do. With a planned departure of 30th June and a deadline for filing my itinerary of two months prior to departure, that gives me about 9 weeks.
I have so far made some great contacts in Canada who have been very kind in helping me with my research and plans and to whom I am already immensely grateful.
